This is Component B of the Kerabond\/Keralastic System — mix with Kerabond powder (sold separately) to create a high-performance, flexible dry-set mortar with exceptional bond strength, flexural strength, elongation, and freeze\/thaw durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use a latex additive like Keralastic when applying a dry-set mortar over plywood or when setting nonvitreous, semivitreous, vitreous, and impervious tile. Suited to the most demanding installs — difficult tiles, substrates, and job-site conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproved for most interior\/exterior residential and commercial floor, wall, and ceiling installations of ceramic and porcelain tile, glass tile, quarry tile, pavers, Saltillo tile, and most marble, granite, and natural stone.
